Buttock shugaring is one of the methods of depilation using sugar paste. Do not confuse it with hair removal, which involves not only hair removal, but also the death of their follicles. Thanks to this, the hair stops growing for many years. Hair removal is very expensive, so hair removal with sugar paste is very popular. This method makes the skin smooth for several weeks. In the article we will consider the features of shugaring in the buttocks area.
How is the procedure
Buttocks and a bikini line are processed with medium density paste, because it is a hot zone, there is good blood supply. Before the procedure, the master wipes the client's skin with a cosmetic towel and disinfectant. Sprinkles with talcum powder to remove excess moisture. At the same time, the cosmetologist works with gloves.
How to make buttock shugaring? The master applies the paste, he seems to stretch the sugar ball on the skin. This is not done very quickly, because the paste must have time to melt from the heat of the skin and “grab” the hairs. Then the master abruptly picks the paste along with unwanted vegetation. During the procedure, the cosmetologist has to additionally sprinkle the skin with talcum powder, because customers are sweating.
Buttock shugaring: photo poses for the procedure
There are two main poses for processing the area between the buttocks - when the client is lying on his side and when he is lying on his stomach. Often, when processing the area between the buttocks, the masters ask the client to stand on all fours and lean down face down as if he is drinking water from a stream.
Other cosmetologists do not agree, they do not use this pose, but only process the intergluteal fold when the client is lying on his stomach. At the same time, he should spread his legs a little and spread his buttocks with his hands. However, this position is categorically not suitable for pregnant women.
The second main position is on the side. When a client is asked to lie on his side, he should straighten his lower leg and bend his upper knee. At the same time, pull the upper buttock with your hand, helping the master open the intergluteal fold.
Additional poses include the following. Bend the leg at the knee, press it to the stomach so that the knee looks to the side. It is so convenient to handle the subgluteal fold, if there is a lot of hair, as well as the perineum and between the labia. If the client is full, it is difficult for him to turn around, pull the skin with his hands, the master asks to clasp his hands under his knees and pull the knees to the chest.
Then it is easy and convenient to treat the area of the skin between the anus and the labia and the intergluteal fold, if this area is not too overgrown. There are other poses for shugaring between the buttocks. They are convenient for craftsmen, but rarely when they are comfortable for the client.
Comparing Shugaring and Waxing
What is the difference between sugar depilation and waxing? Mainly by material and direction of removal. Sugar paste is applied against hair growth. And they remove hair by growth. Wax is applied to hair growth. And delete against. Often customers are interested in how to avoid hair growth. There is no such thing that comes from wax, but not from sugar. It all depends on individual characteristics, on what is the cause of ingrowth. Ingrown hair is not always the result of improper procedure.
If the client has very coarse hair, then the sugar paste may not have enough tenacity to remove all hair the first time. It is softer than wax. However, this, as a rule, is not related to buttock shugaring, because the hairs in this zone are not as stiff as, for example, on the pubis.
How long does hair come to shugaring
The first question that is asked before signing up for sugar depilation is how much hair should be grown. The minimum length for carrying out comfortable and high-quality shugaring is from 5 mm. After a razor - this is about 10-14 days, after wax depilation or after a previous shugaring - about 3-4 weeks. These are averaged indicators, which are mainly oriented by cosmetologists.
Hair growth stages
There are three phases to hair growth. When a person comes to the procedure, it cannot be so that all his hair is the same length. Some are just starting to grow. Some have not yet formed. Some have reached the desired length. To make the procedure as effective as possible, it is better that the hairs be a length of half a millimeter.
Of course, if the client comes after a recent shave with two-millimeter hairs, they will be removed. When he constantly goes to the procedure, such a short hair length is normal. They are thinner, softer, easier to remove, even if very short. But if a person came to the procedure for the first time, in the first week after removal, the hair will grow back. Therefore, there is such a recommendation: 14 days after the razor is the time during which the maximum amount of hair has time to grow.
What else you need to consider when choosing the date of the procedure
Menstruation also affects the choice of date. These days account for active hair growth. It is recommended that buttock shugaring be performed a couple of days after the end of critical days. During menstruation, you should not go for procedures, because during this period, sensitivity is increased. Any pain will be harder to bear.
These days, the maximum number of hairs grows. It makes sense to do shugaring right after the end of critical days, because this way the effect of the removal lasts longer.
How long after the procedure the skin remains smooth
The effect of the procedure depends not only on the master, but also on the phase of hair growth. If you select the stage correctly, you will be able to remove the maximum number of hairs, the effect of shugaring will last longer. Imagine that the client came to the procedure immediately after the razor, the hair was so short that it was not visible, but if you hold it with your hand, you feel it by touch.
Such hairs are difficult to remove because the grip area is too small. Vegetation that could not be hooked and uprooted will grow in the first week. To reach a constant frequency, enter the rhythm, it will take from 3 to 6 procedures. It must be remembered that between depilations you can not remove hair with a razor or cream for depilation. Hair removal is the work of the master, the client only needs to monitor the skin, so that it is moisturized, nourish it.
Depending on the phase of hair growth at which the depilation took place, and on whether the client came to the procedure for the first time or not, the interval between the receptions depends. But the minimum time during which the skin will be smooth is 10 days. It all depends on the blood supply. On the 10-14th day after buttock shugaring, the first hairs begin to hatch, and in 3-4 weeks a sufficient number of them grows for the next procedure. Someone's effect lasts much longer.
Postprocedural care
How to care for skin after depilation? Enough soft cream-based scrub or keratolytics to prevent ingrowth. You need to use them once a week. Plus hydration and nutrition with water-based products - this is useful to do before and after shugaring buttocks.
The mask will help relieve inflammation after the procedure. As for keratolytics, they are composed of fruit acids and enzymes. They help not to exfoliate, but to dissolve the particles of the skin that are on the surface, without trauma.
What happens if you use natural scrubs, such as coffee? Such products contain untreated particles that injure the skin. As a result, it will defend and build up horny particles, which will lead to even greater hair growth.
